Wrote this like a month ago in my notes app and doubt I’ll ever do anything more with it so you guys can have it.
Keep in mind I didn’t go back and watch the movie for the dialogue at the time so sorry if I forgot lines or got them wrong lol
———
“Casey, when I get up there, close the portal.”
“What? But you’ll be stuck too!”
Splinter stares up at the sky in disbelief. Leo, his Baby Blue, is up there all alone, facing off against a monster. And what he’s saying over the comms is…
“Leo, please!” comes Red’s voice next. “Don’t do this!”
“Heh. You’re one to talk, big bro,” says Blue, and he sounds so like himself, cool and boastful, that almost, for a second, Splinter believes this isn’t happening. But then…
“Hero moves are totally your style.”
He means to do it. He means to…
There’s something happening above that Splinter can’t see from his vantage point. Something snarky that Blue says, not meant for his loving family back on Earth.
“Casey, close the portal!”
“No!” comes Future Boy’s voice. “I can’t lose you again!”
Again.
Again, again, again his son walks into danger, and again, again, again Splinter is watching, too far away to help. Too far away to grab him and hold him and shield him from the horrors of the world.
Above, the rising sun catches a glint of something falling fast.
“Casey,” comes his Baby Blue’s voice, and he sounds so mature, so grown up, so resolved in his decision. “I’m real proud of you.”
The glint comes closer, and Splinter’s eyes widen.
“Future me would be real proud of you, too.”
Splinter realizes what it is, and he takes off like a shot.
“Splints!” he hears April yell behind him, but he does not look back, does not say anything to reassure her. He must catch it before it hits the ground - he must get there in time.
He did not raise his sons to die.
Three quick leaps off the piles of rubble and he’s in the air, and Leo’s sword is within reach, spinning through the air to the ground below.
He catches the hilt in his hand.
“Casey, please!”
A spark, the smell of ozone.
An explosion, sending Splinter rocketing head over heels through empty space. He scrambles to orient himself, to figure out which way is up… though in this place, it doesn’t seem to matter.
He hears a roar somewhere above his head, and looks up to the only waypoint that matters: that monster, and his son.
He readies the sword in his hand again and tears open a portal through space, letting the momentum of the blast propel him through.
And rockets out the other side, his foot colliding with metal. It sends a shock through his whole body, but the thing loses balance.
“YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HIM!”
He lands on a rock, ignoring the pain in his leg, in his hips and back and shoulders, and shifts into a fighting stance. The beast staggers back to its full height, and he sees, with satisfaction, a dent in the armor.
And behind him he hears the incredulous voice of his sweet Baby Blue.
“Dad!?”

Can I request a Future Donnie x Reader that keeps trying to help out but every time they help, nothing works because they aren't as technological as him, and it makes him frustrated? Can be angst to comfort, I just grave angsting the old pancake man
Lab Accidents
F!Donnie x gn!reader
Warnings: angst, Donnie gets really mad, non verbal Donnie, happy ending
A/N: I was gonna make this a fic, but my brain couldn't handle it for some reason yet I still really wanted to do it.
He always loves when you help
Normally just grabbing or holding things for him
This time however, he thought maybe you were ready for more
So he started to ask you to help him with bigger things
With the smaller of the big, you did really well
But when it got to the bigger stuff...
You were struggling
One day, something broke
You could see frustration on his face
Yet he kept his cool
But it seemed like everything you touched broke
He started scratching his arms
His jaw clenched, but he tried not doing anything
But you accidentally broke something he'd been working really hard on
He snaps, starts yelling at you
Kicks you out of his lab
He gets so frustrated he becomes non verbal
Donnie takes his time to cool down
Of course he knew you didn't mean to
When he's calmed down, he goes to find you
He still might not be able to speak, but he'll try his best to apologize
He'll cuddle you
Kiss you
Hold you close
Whatever you need to feel better
